BSD MVP Purdue: Cam Wallace.
Penn State · PurdueThe oft-injured junior running back got Penn State’s first carry, drawing a bit of a surprised response from the Big Ten Network announcing team. For his performance, Wallace is this week's BSD MVP.
He finished with 22 carries for 135 yards and a touchdown, showing true speed and elusiveness on a 48-yard jaunt. Meanwhile, he hadn't even taken a carry since a late September loss to Wisconsin.
But whatever happened over the weeks of practice, Wallace stepped up to the opportunity on Saturday. With Penn State missing its top two wide receivers, Wallace was the dynamic playmaker that the Lions so desperately needed.
Carson Hansen, Running Back : While Wallace stole the show, it was Hansen's best game in a Penn State uniform. He did finally get in the open field, breaking off a 42 yard run early and he scored a critical touchdown on a fourth down play.
